Frustration (from Latin frustratio - deception, failure) is a negative emotional state that occurs when a person has not satisfied one or another need.
For example, when plans collapsed due to external factors or personal expectations from interaction with others were not met.
Why does frustration occur
Frustration is a traumatic psycho-emotional state.
It occurs when an insurmountable obstacle appears on the path to a goal.
This is a mental state that occurs when desires do not coincide with possibilities.
Moreover, the obstacle to the goal can be objective (real) or subjective (“lives” only in the head).
The main causes of frustration include: Inability to achieve goals.
When a person fails to achieve what they want, it can trigger feelings of worthlessness and meaninglessness.
Constraints imposed by the environment.
For example, when a person feels frustration, but is unable to express irritation, annoyance, or anger, then he is like a still calm sea on the eve of a storm.
They behave impulsively, seek immediate gratification of their needs and cannot tolerate frustration.
Why is frustration dangerous
The prolonged frustration he experiences can lead to other emotions that negatively influence well-being and mental health.
These include loss of trust, stress, anger, aggressive behavior, irritability, depression, and deep disappointment.
